New Drivers, your first year will most likely suck. You’ll get the oldest truck in the fleet, you’ll pull the loads no one wants, you will not get much home time, and your compensation won’t be great. My first 54 weeks I made $64,793. Get your experience, keep your nose clean. Learn! Do your research. My second year in trucking and my year to date income for 34 weeks is $63,309. That works out to $96,825 for a second year trucker.

However, the average truck driver during this era was well-paid. It was the sort of high-quality, blue-collar job that many lament doesn't exist today. In 1977, the mean earnings of a unionized truck driver stood at $96,552 in 2018 dollars. At least 80% of drivers were unionized at this time.
YOU ARE MAKING THE SAME MONEY AS TRUCKERS WERE MAKING IN 1977 YET DUE TO INFLATION THAT KIND OF MONEY IS WORTH NOTHING. WE SHOULD BE MAKING 150K AS DRIVERS. UNDERSTAND THIS PLEASE -
